The Defeat of Hanover Creates Sensa-
ton at the Park.
New York, July 80.-There was sensa.
ton at Monmouth park to-day, when
Dryer Bros. great, and hitherto unbeaten,
three-yea r-old-Hanover-wa beaten by
d. d. Wlthers' Laggard. To be sure,
Hanover had to lug an extra impost of
fifteen pounds, but even at that he was
not the favorite. Now, that his hackers
have got their breath, il seems to be the
general opinion that it Is another case of
the pitcher which went too often to the
fountain-in other words, that Hanover
had been overworked. There was a large
attendance and fine weather. The race
was for the Raritan stakes, three-year-
olds; one and quarter miles; starters,
Hanover, Laggard and Bradford. They
got the flag at the first offer and dashed
away, with Laggard first, Bradford Sec
ond and Hanover third This was re-
garded as ominous, as Hanover had gen
orally set place in all his races. AS they
swung into the stretch Bradford was in
front, with Laggard at his heels and Han
over last, passing the stand, Bradford
was led by length, while Hanover was in
front of Laggard. All we're going under
pull, but Hanover did not go as easy as
usual or pull as hard on his bit. On the
lower turn Bradford opened up a gap
of two lengths between himself and
Hindoo's great son, who was still but a
head in advance of Laggard. Toward the
far end of the back stretch Bradford came
back length. Laggard put on steam on
the upper turn, and as he went by Han
over cry, almost of pain, was heard;
"HanOver is beaten I"
AS they came into the home stretch Mo
Laughlin was seen to be lifting Hanover,
and then hundreds of voices pro-
claimed:
"He's beaten! He's beaten"
1t was too true. The great horse had
been called on once too often and he
could not respond. On came Laggard.
Increasingly he lead at every jump, and
dashed past the judges stand winner by
eight lengths. Bradford was two lengths
behind Hanover. Time, 2:14.

TEXAS CATTLE.

What Representative of the United
States Animal Bureau Says.
ST.. Louis, July BOT. 7. D. Andrews,
of Fort Worth, Texas, representative OF
the United States bureau of animal in
dustry, commenting on the Texas cattle
trail, said that not head of cattle that
has crossed the Arkansas river will return
to his native range. The Texas drive is
collected--some near Hugo and some near
Coolidge, and the cattle will be driven
farther south. About $500 head are on
the open market, and they will not be re-
turned to Texas. A large number have
already been disposed of to Kan
sas and Nebraska feeders, and the
great bulk of the herds will go that
way. The prices at which they are
offered Is $12 for yearlings and SIG for
2.year olds. If owners are willing to
abate from SIG to 81 in their prices, not
head need remain unsold. Should the
owners prefer to hold them for another
aeason they will be considered in the neu
trail zone, or Cherokee strip. The trail 1;
now practically closed. Hereafter Texas
cattle will be sold on the ranges ano
shipped by rail.
1t is good thing for Texas men. They
will no longer be caught with lot OF
cattle on hand, and squeezed by northern
buyers. No considerable failures will re
suit in Texas on account of the stoppag'
of the drive. Some of the stockmen arr
heavily in debt ON account of having
made large purchases of land. But thi
land has increased in value, and by selling
a portion of it they can liquidate and still
retain large tracts.

BIG SPRINGS, July 30.-Last night at IL
O'Clock five mounted men rode into
Odessa, a small station sixty miles west of
here, and proceeded to house occupied
by the Chinese section-hands working on
the Texas g. Pacific railway, forcing an
entrance into the house. The robbers de-
manded their money and valuables, and
accompanied the demand with curses
and abuse and display of firearms.
They got $50 worth of clothing, but no
money. They then went to Warfeld, a
side track ten miles from Odessa, at
o'clock a. m. Here they repeated the ont
rage on another Chinaman, and secured
$130. Continuing in an easterly course,
they reached the town of Midland at
o'clock, and again raided the Celestials
Here they Jared better, securing $3.50 In
money. At Midland the Cinnamon were
horribly abused, one being hung up by
the neck until nearly dead. Another was
badly beaten over the head
with six-shooter, and third
nearly killed in various ways
TIE Cinnamon were at last so completely
terrified that they gave up everything
asked. After committing this last
outrage the fiends fled. Armed parties
have been in pursuit during the entire
day, but nothing has been heard from
them. A similar outrage was committed
at Morita station several months ago
The perpetrators used the same brutal
ways to gain their ends, some Cinnamon
being held ON red-hot stoves, etc. The
fends could devise no more cruel OF
brutal tortures than they used last night

Kansas Cattle Quarantine.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 2S.-A meeting of
the Kansas livestock sanitary committee,
held at the special request of Governor
Martin here yesterday, issued a printed
circular to the railroads calling attention
to the penalty prescribed for bringing
cattle into the state from points south of
the thirty-seventh parallel, and warming
them against committing the offense.
This action was caused by the report that
the Union Pacific delivered 800 head of
Texas cattle at Greenleaf, Washington
county, Kansas, in April. The herd com
municated Texas fever to native stock,
and 200 have already died. The railroads
are responsible for the importation and
will be sued at once.

MORE BANK EMBARRASSMENT.
A Philadelphia Institution Finds Itself

A Philadelphia Institution Finds Itself
Among the Breakers,
PHILADELPHIA, July 30 -rhe checks
of the Columbian bank were thrown out
by the Farmers and Mechanics National
bank because of the lack of funds. 1t
had been known for some days that the
Columbian bank was in precarious con-
dition, and there had been several rumors
as to its suspension, both here and in
New York. For some time past the bank
has been doing considerable business for
Messrs. Henry S. Ives d Co., and recently
its acceptance for them amounted to as
much as $1O00,000. At the time the
bank officials refused to state the amount
of the Ives business with the bank since
payment of $1,000,000, and reiterated the
statement that the institution was fully
protected. Osher money of the bank Is
tied up in advances on drugs and articles
of merchandise from Mexico, which, at
this time, it is impossible to realize upon
and which consignees are not able to pro-
tect A gentleman in position to know
who is not an official of the bank, said
that he supposed the liabilities would bt
from $3,OOO,OOO to $4,0O0,O00, and that
persons who had made small deposits il
the bank would be the chief sufferers.
The trouble was apparently precipitatei
by the failure of Ives d Co. to honor {
draft for $4,000, drawn on them by the
Columbian bank. The bank has brancl

tronized by mill operatives and othe
working people.
DENIES IT.
New YORK, July 30.-George Staynor
of the firm of H. S. Ives a. Co., denies tina
any dealings with his firm damaged tn
Columbia bank of Philadelphia, and h
states that the bank Is indebted to his firm
in the sum of $4,000. Ives, he says, ha
gone to Cincinnati to attend a railroas
meeting there.
A gentleman, who is in a position tt
know, said to a reporter this afternoon
''The status of the affair is just this
when negotiations for the purchase of the
Baltimore d. Ohio stock from Robert Gar
rett were in progress, Ives deposited {
considerable amount of money as
margin, or premium, and when the nego-
tiations were declared at an end, Ives die
not get his money back, and Garrett wen
to Europe, thus leaving it tied up for som'
time at least Therefore, Ives was con
siderably crippled, and was probably un
able to settle with the Columbian solicito
for the bank.
He states there are probably 100000
in funds tied up in merchandise, whic
was bought in foreign counties on letter
of credit issued by the Columbian, and tn
bank paid the drafts attached to bills o
lading, when presented. They were un
able to realize on these goods, and the,

Evidence.
Latest Aspect of the Kentucky
Troubles Troops Gong to
Rowan County.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-Nothing that has
happened IN connection with the Doodle
cases causes such sensation as the
announcement of George @. Klehm, presi-
dent of the board of county commission.
ers, that he wished to withdraw his plea of
not guilty, and for one of guilty. After
the examination of McMichaels, late yes
terday afternoon, he presented lot of
documentary evidence, and announced to
the court that the prosecution had closed.
States Attorney Grinnell had just fin
ished this announcement when Klehm
addressed the judge as stated above. The
effect on his co-defendants was remark
able. They seemed the picture of con-
sternation, and hardly knew how to take
it. The judge, after explaining the law
to Klehm, accepted the plea, but on the
request of States Attorney Grinnell,
sentence was deferred. The court has been
adjourned until next Monday morning,
when further sensation is expected. 1t
is no less a feature than President
Geo. G. KLEIN, in the character of wit
ness for the state, and volume of relia-
BILE, corroborative testimony is expected.
States Attorney Ginnell, in announcing
the close of the states case, said that they
did it with the understanding that counsel
for the defense would consent to the intro
duction of any supplementary testimony
then at hand, or had forgotten, as the first
business for next Monday morning.
Counsel for the defense consulted as to
this arrangement, which had no sooner
been arrived at than Mr.. Klehm advanced
to the bar of the court and formally en-
tered his plea of guilty. Then it was that
a new light broke upon the situation, and
it became apparent to all that further
testimony, not at hand, but certainly not
forgotten, would be furnished from the
commanding position of the witness stand
in the court next Monday morning, by
the chairman of the commissions AMI ex-
officio member of all committees, Mr..
George @. Klehm.
KLEHM INTERVIEWED.
CHICAGO, July 3O.-Commissioner Klehm
was seen at his home last night by re-
porter for local papers. In reply to
questions he said he did not admit his
guilt He was anxious to get out of the
case, and did so.
"Did you mean that you are not guilty
of any of the charges? that you pleaded
guilty because you saw that you were
being drawn into vortex into which the
rest of the commissioners are struggling?
"Well, I can hardly say that, either

| Mr.. Klehm would make no admission as
to his dealings with contractors, or as to
his agreement, If he had any, with the
states attorney. He said his action was
com lete surprise to his attorneys.

A Horrible Sight.

WEST BEND, Wis, July Boa farmer
of Germantown, named Arnold, was
awakened from his after dinner nap yes-
terday, by his little daughter, who told
him his barn was burning. He rushed
out of the house, to find his little son
hanging over the lower half of the barn
door, the upper half being open. The
little fellow was crying for his mama to
help him, and the flames were coming out
of the half open door. SO intense was
the heat that no one could rescue the boy,
and the parents were powerless to do any
thing. They saw the flames envelop the
little fellow, and saw him suddenly fall
back into the fire. His charred body was
racOyered.
